About Collinson Tensile

Lets build something incredible together...

Collinson was founded in 1962 and has been constructing BestHall steel frame tensile membrane structures for more than 20 years across all corners of the U.K & Ireland from Penzance to Dublin to Shetland and everywhere in between.

We believe through all the facets of the design, manufacturing and construction process our product and team deliver a world class end product that will perform for decades to come whilst still offering good value.

Combining the benefits of two long established businesses to deliver and support your project.

Not all fabric buildings are made equal. It’s crucial to examine the specification and origins of the membrane material, the steel frame system and the design and engineering heritage underpinning it all.

BestHall’s are built to last.

Not all Fabrics are made equal

The specification and engineering of the tensile membrane covering the building superstructure is one of the key aspects when choosing a tensile fabric building.

All our buildings utilise the Serge Ferrari range of membranes which are known globally as the market leading producer of architectural membranes. The longevity and performance attributes of the Serge Ferrari membrane combined with our Design Engineering ensure our tensile membrane coverings will perform for decades to come.

A lasting relationship

For us, the relationship doesn’t end the moment we’re off site. We place huge importance on after care and creating lasting relationships with our customers, who often come back to us for their next project.

A family firm with strong values

Collinson is a family owned business founded in 1962 however during 2003 we were approached by Best-Hall Oy from Finland to create a Construction division to represent them in the UK & Ireland. Collinson Construction remains family owned and operated. Best-Hall remain privately owned and are part of the Wiklof Group which will ensure your building will be supported for many decades to come.

We have built a team with deep knowledge and experience of the tensile industry.

From design through to completion and aftercare, our priority is providing clients with an excellent service, a transparent relationship, and a high-quality project.

Collinson operate an Integrated Management System (IMS) that is independently audited by TUV UK who have accredited us with: ISO 45001 and ISO 9001.

ISO 45001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, intended to improve the safety and health of both employees and other personnel.

Introduced in March 2018, ISO 45001 marks a significant step forward in the overall effort to improve occupational health and safety (OHS) worldwide. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the standard enables organisations to proactively improve injury prevention and reduce ill-health, while protecting their longevity.

ISO 9001 provides a quality management system (QMS) that companies use to ensure the quality of their products and services. QMS is based on quality management principles including 1) A Strong Customer Focus 2) The Involvement of Top Management 3) A Process-oriented Approach, 4) Continual Improvement.

ISO 9001 certification shows that care has been taken to maintain high standards. This reduces the chance of product faults, recalls, or poor customer service. Ultimately, ISO 9001 certification and standards help ensure customer satisfaction.
